Thought this may be of interest: the Great British Toilet Map! -- Forwarded message -- From: Ben Pollinger benpollinger+...@gmail.com Date: 20 November 2014 11:39 Subject: [Talk-GB] Great British Public Toilet Map To: OSM Talk-GB talk...@openstreetmap.org Hello all, The Great British Public Toilet Map [was launched yesterday] providing details of over 8,000 public toilets in the UK including council facilities, train stations, community toilet schemes as well as shopping centres and libraries. An alarming finding from the research by Royal College of Art Helen Hamlyn Centre for Design, is just how few public toilets are now available.

[Wikimediauk-l] Planned downtime for Civi CRM database development: Monday 24th November at 17:00 UTC
Dear All, We are working with a contractor to make improvement to Civi CRM, the database the charity uses to manage its contact records. We need to allow our developers to take the database offline on Monday evening of next week to work on some configuration and set up tasks. This means from 17:00 on 24th to 08:00 25th November the parts of our sites supported by Civi CRM will be inaccessible, including membership sign ups, events sign ups, equipment booking and donations forms. Obviously this is an inconvenience which is why we have scheduled it for out of office hours, but we hope it will lead to improvements in lots of the services we offer. If you have any questions, or notice issues after the downtime is over you can reply to this email, or email the Technology Committee mailing list at t...@wikimedia.org.uk Many thanks, *Katherine Bavage * *Fundraising Manager * *Wikimedia UK* +44 20 7065 0752 Wikimedia UK is a Company Limited by Guarantee registered in England and Wales, Registered No. 6741827.

Re: [Wikimediauk-l] Examples of First World War related projects?
Hello everyone, Thanks again for the examples. I delivered the presentation this morning which went well. Much of the audience was from the UK, which surprised me given the location. Anyway, hopefully some folks will be in touch - and they can now also work with the newly recognised Wikimedia Belgium, too.
